Penn State scandal: the financial impact of sex scandal could be enormous

Posted on May 16, 2012 by admin

In less than a week, Penn State lost to the legendary football coach and President of the University. And that's before taking into account money.

At Stake? Tens of millions of dollars in profits each year. Penn State raked in $ 45.2 million in revenue from football last season, ranked fifth out of all college programs in the country, according to CNNMoney. In addition, the Athletic Department, the school took home another $ 24.1 million in income is not designated to a particular team or sport–the amount derived from the sale of merchandise and sponsorship.

And the program has taken a hit. Resale price of tickets for the upcoming home Penn State game against the University of Nebraska has dropped more than 20 percent Thursday morning, less than 24 hours after the School Board of Trustees fired Joe Paterno, Penn State football coach 46 years, according to Bloomberg.

Paterno dismissed the wake of the scandal that rocked the campus and the nation when former football assistant coach frankly was criticized for not doing enough to pass on reports of sexual abuse to the Sandusky's authorities.

Penn State Athletic Department is financially independent from the rest of the University, which means a drop in the price of a ticket or t-shirt sales will not affect the academic building or pay a professor at the school. The scandal is likely to dampen still fundraising effort Penn State.

Carmel, MD, said in a statement after HHS clarification. "Classifying commissions to brokers and insurance agents as costs of administration are clear victory which prevented patients health insurance industry to undermine incentives in health reform legislation."

For Broncos fans who aren't familiar, what they should expect from the New York Jets this Thursday?
"I think the current New York kind of going through a bit of an identity crisis. That's what I've seen all year from them. (Head Trainer jet) Rex (Ryan) types have bones were with ground-and-pound–a physical on both sides of the line of scrimmage. However you are trading up five draft quarterback. Two years in a row you go to the AFC Championship game and lose, and You hope that in the three quarterbacks would have taken a quantum leap forward. So I think they're going to throw the ball more, however, they are passed to the development of quarterback might not guarantee it. They have not run the ball as well, either, so politely I think they are still somewhat struggling a little bit to understand that they want.

"Stand up for themselves had some injuries. I think they played better until New England came in the night. I thought New England just does a great job staying with their game plan, spread the field and let Tom Brady made a decision. After Tom Brady eliminated turnovers, I thought it was just a matter of time before they got off the ground. That's exactly what happened. "

Whether New York coming off a tough loss to make a better time for the Broncos to face them, or worse?
"I think every time You get cornered animal, it's a little heavier. Either way, the Jets came up short of a week with a long drive, play at altitude–this turnaround is difficult. However, when you throw in a way that they lose and lose, You will get their best effort. I have much more chosen they are fat and lazy coming off a big win. They know they have to grind out every day from now until the end of the year. "
